I was looking around for a bit and I think, that, if we perform the step of moving away from Wikia/FANDOM, I would choose the MediaWiki software for our WikiFarm.

A WikiFarm is a server, that hosts multiple wikis.

If we had our own WikiFarm, we wouldn't have to reunite all KDZ Wikias into one, but would be able to keep them and the FNAF SMBX Wiki as independent wikis.

If I would use MediaWiki for our wikis, it would end up looking similar to the classic Wikipedia, but with our own content and our own logos. We also would be able to present more content from KDZ without having to censor it. (there is content, that had to be censored to apply to Wikia/FANDOMs terms of use)

Maybe it also would be possible to customize the colors, but I don't know how yet. I also would need to configure the user levels (staff, admins, regular users, not logged in, etc.).

It would be a lot of work, just as Vasara stated.

I am curious how this would turn out, but for now, I feel like I really need to test some things and learn more about the full structure of a wiki backend first, as I never created my own WikiFarm and never installed a full wiki backend.

As you know, Wikia/FANDOM already provides a basic structure when you create a new wiki, so this project would be really something else.

(heavy thinking)

I will be back with more information once I have started my first test setup. :)
